JEREE WADE , (Creator) OF ON KENTUCKY AVENUE, The Atlantic City Club Harlem Revue.
Burst on the off Broadway stage in 1983 as star, creator, writer, co-star and producer of the musical, Shades of Harlem, which opened at the Village Gate in New York, in August 1984. At the same time, she formed her present production company, Songbirds Unlimited Productions. She turned Shades into an International touring show creating jobs and opportunities for her company. Then she really went to work creating Jazz Alley, Symphony Suite, Nat King Cole and Mid Life. Jeree was doing well. The only thing that changed was her last name when she married Adam Wade. Jeree was raised in Atlantic City by her grandmother and commuted regularly to Harlem in New York City to stay with her working parents on weekends and summers from the time she was five. Through her remembrances of shows at the famous clubs from Smalls Paradise to the Club Harlem, she continues to cherish and keep the genre of these exciting productions alive. Like her husband, Adam Wade, she headlined at the Club Harlem in Atlantic City in 1978, ten years after Adam was there in 1968. She is a multi-talented singer, actress, producer and a veteran of the show business trade. She has a Bachelors degree in Theatre Arts from Brown University and a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Goddard College.
